Bandung women's prison launches showcase for inmate-made products
Bandung Women's Prison launched Lamoria Pavilijoen, a showcase for products made by inmates at Sport Jabar in West Java.
The display includes food, clothing and handmade crafts produced by people serving sentences at the prison.
Its opening drew more than 500 visitors, and the featured Puff Tape and cream puffs sold out.
Puff Tape is made with fermented cassava, a food associated with Bandung, and one inmate said it took six years to develop the recipe.
Prison officials say the showcase connects inmates with the public and gives visitors a chance to support their work.
The prison hopes Lamoria will help inmates return to society as independent, law-abiding citizens.
